Bring on the Fall

I know there are a lot of people out there lamenting the fact that the summer is almost over (children are already starting school!) - but not this girl. Generally after enjoying the sunshine and several sunshine related activities for an early August weekend I am 100% ready for the Fall. It's my favorite time of year. Jeans. Boots. Rain coats. Hot coffee (although I drink that all year). Pumpkin patches. Warm apple cider. Flickering candle light. A cozy blanket. A good book. The sound of heavy rain on the roof. I love every bit of all of that.

I guess that one thing I'm not eagerly anticipating is the spiders. Thankfully we don't have a whole lot of poisonous spiders out here but we do have ones that are big (enough) and hairy (enough) to make my blood run cold. Every year I encounter one of these "wolf" spiders in my home and I'm not looking forward to what that story will be like this year.

But I guess in the grand scheme of things, the Fall season makes me happy and dealing with spiders is just worth it.

I'm always sad when summer is nearly over, but I'm also very happy -- at the same time -- that it'll be Autumn. Autumn is one of my four favorite seasons! ;) I love the web picture! Spiders are kind of creepy, but they can leave behind such pretty webs.

Great shot! Don't like spiders, but when I find one at home, I push it into a box and take her outside! But last week, one of them of consequent size jumped out of the box and run to hide in some corner of my living room! He he he!My favourite season is Spring! Don't like Winter at all. And when Autumn is there, winter isn't very far! Argggh!
